Dating in Anchorage
In shortAnchorage is where most Alaskans live, so it has the biggest dating pool in the state. Trails run right through the city, and the mountains are never far away. A first date here can be a coffee downtown and a walk along the inlet.
A first date idea
The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail
The 11 mile trail starts by the Alaska Railroad station downtown and follows Cook Inlet to Kincaid Park, passing Elderberry Park and Westchester Lagoon. On clear days you may see Denali and Mount Foraker, and moose, eagles and belugas. It is open all year and popular with cross-country skiers in winter.
